Penny hung her head low ever since she sat down and her tears poured without stopping. She was in grievance and did not wish for her mother to be like that either. However, there was nothing she could do about it.
Meanwhile, Hayden was attempting to drown his sorrow with Eugene’s company. North furtively poked Brian as he approached the man. “Why aren’t you saying anything?”
Brian glared at him. “Eat your food or you’ll get it from me.” “You won’t do anything to me.” North was not afraid in the slightest. Brian giggled. “North, why don’t we bet on something? The loser will have to finish this glass of wine.”
While saying that, he filled half of the glass with wine. Although that amount would not make him drunk, it was still enough. After looking at the glass, North teased, “I don’t think you’ve ever won against me.” ‘That’s none of your business. Are you down for it?” asked Brian.
“Why not? Bring it on!” North gladly accepted the challenge. Their gamble drew everyone’s eyes at that instant. Ellen proposed, “How dare you bully my grandson! If North loses, he’ll have one glass, but you gotta down three.”
“Sure,’ responded Brian. Eugene and Olivia exchanged looks as they were curious about what Brian was up to, considering how he had never won against North in a bet.
Brian’s gaze swept across everyone. Suddenly, he stretched out his arm and unclenched his palm to reveal a garlic. With a smile, he announced, “I can finish this garlic in thirty seconds, but you can’t.” The others fell into silence.
What kind of bet is this? North was equally dumbfounded. “Is this all you’ve got, huh?” Brian retorted, “It doesn’t matter what kind of bet it is. The loser has to admit his defeat or he must drink it.”
